Sorry Amber, don't think we're ever going to visit your home country. This from List of the Day's more serious lists, most dangerous places in the world.

Pakistan
Risk ranking: 4

One of the most gruesome -- and visible -- displays of the dangers in Pakistan was the 2002 kidnapping and slaying of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. Foreigners, especially Christians, continue to be targeted there. Churchgoers in an Islamabad Protestant church have been attacked, as have several people in a Christian hospital in Taxila. The U.S. Consulate in Karachi is closed indefinitely, and the State Department warns Americans to leave.
